AUTHOR

Maqsood Ahmed Khan, popularly known as Maqsood Arfi, born in Gaya (Bihar), India, in a family of Khan Bahadur Babu Abdul Ghafoor Khan, a renowned family of the region, which do not require any introduction. His great grandfather was a Yousufzai, pathan by cast and belongs to a Nawab of Rampur Mohammed Ismail khan, who had come from Afghan region as a commander in Aurangzeb's force.

A person is born in a family, not by his own choice. That family has a particular religion and that becomes his religion also, again not by his own choice. In olden days the matter ended there. He had to accept that religion as naturally, as he had to accept his parents, but today the situation is different.

The youth of today is enlightened by education and is imbued with the spirit of freedom of thought, which is the hall-mark of the modern age. He wants to satisfy his intellect before accepting any idea as a truth.

The 9/11 incident and its repercussions proved fatal. The way U.S Government opted for a very aggressive policy to deal the situation and under the garb of its newly developed philosophy of 'pre-emptive strike', it has wittingly or unwittingly, endangered the whole world and the humanity, needless to state, against the preaching of Moses and Jesus Christ (MUSVI and ESSVI Islam). More so, through media propaganda, rather 'media magic', they are portraying Islam as an anti-human, anti-democratic, anti-Semitic, anti-rational and Muslim generally as terrorists. This distorted picture of Islam on the whole is a depressing and misleading one.
